Matters Not on the Agenda
Mrs. Gustin asked Mr. Robbins to ask the Toledo Mayor and ask him what his process is of cutting the high grass and weeds. Mrs. Daniels said he remembers that a home was foreclosed on him and do know that he ended up in jail of not mowing the grass. Mr. Robbins said once the foreclosure occurs, they leave it in the owner’s name. The lender doesn’t take title to it. That remains in the original owner’s name. Mr. Daniels said we should be prosecuting the banks, not the prior owner. Mr. Russell said I will be willing to work with the Safety Director to change the codes. Let me know of the person where he went to jail because of the grass. Mr. Daniels said it was on Wood St. Mr. Russell said there are a few properties in town, where we can’t find the borrower or the bank. The health dept. has finally had their first cuttings. NSP III is on its way. Mr. Thomas said that the issue with the grass, is because of the merging of the health departments, County and City.
Mr. Ratliff asked about the old Drypers area. Mr. Russell said their case is pending, it’s in pre-trial.
Mrs. Gustin asked Mrs. Brewer how the Aquatics Center is doing. Mrs. Brewer said since June 6, we have had 820/day. On Sunday we had 1219. The true number of 24,107.06. It’s going to be a work in progress with the staff in the next couple of weeks. Our chairs arrived; there are 100 of them. Still working on getting the concession stand fully opened. I have spoken with someone at the prison about getting bikes racks done. Mr. Ratliff said he was there yesterday, and it was packed.
Mr. Thomas moved to have a special council meeting on Tuesday the 19th @ 6:45 PM for ordinances 2012-47 and 2012-48, Mrs. Gustin 2nd. Roll call: All Ayes, motion carried. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING FOR TUESDAY, JUNE 19 @ 6:45 PM.
